Finding the right executive is not simply a matter of seeking out a person with management talent, skills and practical experience. It also means ensuring that the chosen candidate meets the requirements of their future position, and is compatible with your organization’s culture. Only once all these complex requirements are met will you have the perfect fit.Successful executive search involves reconciling a great number of variables: different parties (the client, the consultant and the candidate), search areas (internal and external), and profiles (the profile of the position, the organization and the candidate). One of the main challenges is ensuring that in discussing these variables, everyone involved is using the same language to describe the same things.
This unique executive search and integration approach combines two proprietary methodologies - the ETI™ Executive Talent Index and the Organizational Culture Analysis - addressing the most important challenges of executive search and retention.

The services offered by SHIKAR GROUP go far beyond the initial search stage.

During the first twelve months of employment, we offer integration coaching to support both the candidate and the client with regard to the predefined success objectives. At regular intervals we hold integration coaching meetings to appraise the candidate’s performance in light of the client’s expectations, and support the candidate’s integration in his or her new professional environment and organizational culture. This way any discrepancies are identified at an early stage, making them easier to resolve.

Our pricing model also gives us a vested interest in the successful integration of your candidate beyond hiring: a considerable portion of our fee depends exclusively on the successful integration of the candidate after twelve months in charge.

Naturally any methodology has to be applied intelligently by experts with an intimate knowledge of their field. For this reason, all SHIKAR GROUP partners have been assigned a limited number of industry sectors so that they are close to the market and have an in-depth understanding of their specific practice. An additional guarantee of quality is that requirements are never addressed by researchers, but by the partners themselves.Working with us gives you access to the very best candidates. Unlike large search corporations, we have few restrictions and limitations in our search fields. This means we do not miss out on suitable talents merely because they work for the numerous off-limits companies, or because they are involved in other search assignments. And thanks to state-of-the-art web-based technologies and our in-house research team, we are able to execute complex international assignments. Most of our search assignments have a European or global reach.
